Twenty three shipping companies participated in the Protecting Blue Whales & Blue Skies vessel speed reduction program in 2022, contributing to cleaner air, safer whales, and a quieter ocean.  Companies are recognized for their vessels transiting at ten knots or less in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Southern California region. 

The Air District and its partners in an initiative to cut air pollution and protect whales today announced results from the 2017 program, which for the first time included speed reduction zones in the San Francisco Bay Area in addition to the Santa Barbara Channel region. 

The Air District and partners in an initiative to cut air pollution and protect endangered whales announced results from the 2019 program and recognized the 15 shipping companies that participated, reducing speeds to 10 knots or less in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Santa Barbara Channel region.

The Air District has launched the new Flex Your Commute website to assist companies and the public in rethinking driving alone to work as planning begins for returning to the workplace.

The Air District and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission have launched an updated and improved portal for registering their Commuter Benefits Program benefits that will help companies as employees continue to return to the worksite. 

As employees throughout the Bay Area make plans to return to the workplace, the Air District and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission encourage businesses to review their Commuter Benefits Program registration and update it with new commute options. In the Bay Area, companies with 50 or more full-time employees are required to register for, provide, and promote commuter benefits to their workforce.

The Air  District’s Community Advisory Council will hold its first meeting January 13 at 6 PM. In a historic moment, the Air District Board of Directors approved the formation of the Air District’s first Community Advisory Council on November 17, 2021. The Community Advisory Council will advise the Air District’s Board of Directors on environmental justice and equity-based policy and is the first body of its kind at the Bay Area Air District.

It has been reported that companies throughout the Bay Area have received letters dated January 1, 2025, February 1, 2025, and February 14, 2025, with misinformation about the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program. These letters were not sent by the Bay Area Air District or the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and contain misinformation. Please disregard these letters if you received them. If your company is registered in the Commuter Benefits Program, you can check the Commuter Benefits Program website to verify your company's registration in the system.
